Freight management: Time to get outside help?

In turbulent times, businesses everywhere are rethinking how to manage non-core functions.

Let’s say you’re an e-commerce firm, a brick-and-mortar retailer, or a manufacturer. Your core business functions are smart buying of merchandise and smart retailing to consumers.  Everything else is peripheral. 

So, you start rethinking things that may be sidelines to your mission. Like freight management. Sure, it is critically important to manage that piece correctly. However, while booking loads in your key lanes has to be skillfully executed, it is not to the focus of your core business functions—nor is it your area of expertise. 

Recognizing this, many AJC Logistics customers have inquired whether they can outsource all or portions of their freight management function to us. Some have had a turnover of transportation managers. Others are finding that today’s roller-coaster world of transportation is too complex and too demanding to manage with internal staff.

We have the resources and the transportation expertise to step in on short notice, analyze your logistics needs, and find the carriers in our network best able to accommodate your loads with the frequencies you are planning. 

That means your resources can focus on buying and selling goods and leave it to us to deal with managing your shipments in all lanes. Billing will be easy, fair, and transparent.

If outsourcing makes sense for transportation, give us a call, and let’s explore a win-win scenario.
